Cassie-Jean Dillon creates path for others to follow at Durham College
Education is at the centre of everything that Cassie-Jean Dillon does.
The former Durham College student and Oshawa resident is working to ensure Indigenous students are supported and celebrated through her work as vice president of the college’s alumni association.
“We want to celebrate our successes and keep building relationships,” said Dillon of the association.
“Everything in life is connected, we’re hoping to engage with that connection, just because you’ve left college doesn’t mean that connection is lost,” Dillon continued. “We want to foster those relationships within the Indigenous community and celebrate our successes.”
